Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
Most motherboards now come with integrated graphics chips and people add in their discrete graphics cards. OSX has enabled a new feature (recently introduced with its new Core i5 laptops), that allow the system to switch between integrated and discrete graphics _on the fly_. Note that this is not something that is supported by specific hardware, but instead is something that the operating system does : http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/04/inside-apples-automatic-gpu- switching.ars Such a feature allows for significantly increased battery time and since is done totally in software, would be a great addition to Linux. ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Enable automatic graphics switching (between integrated and discrete graphics) similar to OSX https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
